Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of Q345FTE over Q345FTD?
Q345FTE offers guaranteed -40°C impact toughness (34J) compared to -20°C for Q345FTD, making it suitable for arctic and subarctic regions while maintaining the same 345MPa yield strength.
Is Q345FTE suitable for arctic offshore wind?
Yes, its guaranteed -40°C impact energy (34J) makes it ideal for arctic and subarctic offshore wind farms where extreme low temperatures are expected.
MOQ?
25MT for plates, 50MT for coils. Flexible for trial orders.
Third-party inspection?
SGS, BV, TÜV available upon request.
